Soul Cards

These are my first Soul Cards.

The first one is

The Me That Always Puts a Good Face On It.

WHO ARE YOU?

I'm the one who always wants things to look good. The one who needs approval every step of the way be it relationships or grooming or the actions of my children. I'm the one who always has to rehash a conversation to find out how stupid I sounded, or what I should have said. I'm the one who feels physically ugly and unattractive.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME?

I give you the power to be yourself. Be the person you are. I give you permission to be different. To not take on the actions of others as your own. I give you your own true self. I give you permission to love that self wholeheartedly.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

I want you to love yourself just the way you are. I want you to not be critical of yourself or your motives or your actions. I want you to not care what others think. I want you to know that you're a beautiful old soul who deserved to be honored by others and yourself. Be true to yourself and your dreams.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY TO ME RIGHT NOW?

Be yourself.

The One Who Hopes

WHO ARE YOU??

I'm the one who doubts, then hopes she believes correctly. I'm the one who denounces religions that believe in a hell. I'm the one who is so liberal with her beliefs that she ends up being as closed minded about her own beliefs as those she chastises. I'm the one who wants to know the truth. The one who hopes she believes the right thing. The one who wants to believe.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME?

I give you rest and relief from trying to control your destiny. I give you permission to put out to The Universe your wishes and the desires of your heart. Then let them go. The Universe knows what you need. Quit fighting it.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

I want you to be open to the beliefs of others. To believe that there is something bigger than ourselves out there. To know that your son is there in a wonderful place, and that you'll see him there. I want you to know that he's not just rotting matter in the ground. I want you to quit being mad at God.
